That's very strange indeed. Are you sure there were absolutely no changes made? If not, I'd try to verify it using a different method, and then switch back to the Meta Tag method to see if that fixes it.

From Google:

On the Webmaster Tools home page, click the site you want.

On the Dashboard, click Configuration, and then click Users.

Click Manage site owners, and then click Verify using a different method.

Verify your site again using the new method.

Personally, I always verify Webmaster Tools by linking it to the Google Analytics account associated with the site. This keeps the code a little cleaner in your page's <HEAD> section, and allows easier sharing of data with other users and applications.

see the thing is it is linked with both GA and webmaster tools. currently the GA works but not WM. There is nothing wrong with the code at the top it just stopped working.... Also I wouldn't be able to get the other fixes to work until monday so if anyone can give advice on what happened I would appreciate that.

It's really hard to say what happened without any extra info, but it could just be one of those random occurrences w/ Google's API. If the hosting has been suspended or the domain registration has been renewed recently, that's a possibility. Perhaps another user on the account did something they shouldn't have... Good new is that everything should be fine once you re-verify, but as to the cause of the 'bug' it's hard to pinpoint without some investigation.
